contribute to greater functional balance improvements
than standard PR. However, this comparison
must be considered with caution because the 2 studies
included patients with different grades of the
disease (forced expiratory volume in 1 second = 72.2
± 22.3% predicted in the present study vs 46.3 ±
22.3% predicted in Beauchamp et al 9 ) and employed
different TUG protocols.
